Solution
| James | Last Friday I was caught in an embarrassing situation. |
| Rahim | Where? How? |
| James | All the passengers were waiting at the Chennai central station. |
| Rahim | Where were you heading to? |
| James | Well, I was heading to New Delhi. |
| Rahim | What was the cause of your embarrassment? |
| James | I did not know about the last-minute change of platform. I had got an open ticket to Delhi. Along with many other passengers, I rushed to the unreserved compartment and I boarded it on platform 6. But the platform was changed to 11. I got a comer seat and had a sense of pride. |
| Rahim | Then when did you realize your mistake? |
| James | A well-dressed boy asked me if I was going to Mysore. I was surprised and said that I was going to Delhi. He laughed aloud and said to the fellow passengers look, this young man is going to Delhi by Cauvery express. The train had started moving. I rushed out with my luggage and jumped out. |
| Rahim | Did you catch Tamil Nadu express or not? |
| James | Of course, I did, but I had to travel standing for one night. |
| Rahim | I’m really sorry to hear it. Be careful in the future. |
